MSG The Woman
(10-16) My dear lover glows with health—
red-blooded, radiant!
He’s one in a million.
There’s no one quite like him!
My golden one, pure and untarnished,
with raven black curls tumbling across his shoulders.
His eyes are like doves, soft and bright,
but deep-set, brimming with meaning, like wells of water.
His face is rugged, his beard smells like sage,
His voice, his words, warm and reassuring.
Fine muscles ripple beneath his skin,
quiet and beautiful.
His torso is the work of a sculptor,
hard and smooth as ivory.
He stands tall, like a cedar,
strong and deep-rooted,
A rugged mountain of a man,
aromatic with wood and stone.
His words are kisses, his kisses words.
Everything about him delights me, thrills me
through and through!
That’s my lover, that’s my man,
dear Jerusalem sisters.

דּוֹדִ֥י צַח֙ וְאָד֔וֹם
beloved,my radiant and,ruddy
The word translated here as shimmering and red means that the man’s skin had a healthy glow and was a brownish red or reddish-brown color. These two words used together indicate that the man’s skin looked healthy and handsome. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could include this information. Alternate translation: “My beloved has radiant and healthy skin” or “My beloved’s skin glows and is a handsome reddish brown” or “My beloved’s skin is radiant and reddish-brown”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
דָּג֖וּל מֵרְבָבָֽה
distinguished among,ten_thousand
In the Hebrew language ten thousand is the highest number that was used when making comparisons, so the woman uses this number to stand for an uncountable number of people. If you have a similar expression in your culture, you could use that. Alternately, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “better than anyone else” or “there is no one else like him” or “one in a million”
